In political circles speculation 10
still rife as to the successor of Sec.
rotary Lamar in the Cabinet when
the latter shall have been appointed
to the Supreme Bench. S.Dator
Ransom's very emphatic declaration
that he he would not exchange his
seat in the Senate for place in the
Cabinet seems to have been accepted
in good faith by the political prog.
nosticators. In connection with the
suggestion TINT Senator Colquitt
would succeed Secretary Lamar, one
OF the reasons assigned for the APP
pointment was that it would enable
Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, to return
to tho U. S. Senate. Secretary La
mar and Gov. Gordon are old friends
and it WAS said that the Secretary
was anxious to have Gordon return
to public life i'll Washington. But
the resignation of Senator Colquitt
could not help Gov. Gordon to a seat
In the Senate at present, as the va
cancy would have to filed by ap-
pointlnent of the governor. He
might find man who would agree
TO accept the ad interim appoint
ment and not be candidate before
the Legislature, but even then the
governor would have to take his
chances, in the Legislature. The pc.
lltical history Of the country shows
that rs rule, men who have been
appointed to keep Senatorial seats
warm for others, have become at
tached to the seats, and have made
strong fights to hold OH to them.
But, aside from the fact that Gov.
Gordon could not become Senator
Colquitt's immediate successor, the
Senator has come out in declara-
ton that lie does not care to enter
the Cabinet. Now it is said that
the Georgia Democrats, aided by
other party leaders of the South,
have fixed upon ex.Congressman
Hammond al the successor of Score
tary Lamar that having become sat
isfied that Mr. Lamar is to have tho
Supreme Court position. they have
decided to press Mr.. Hammond for
the Secretaryship of the Interior.
A $1,000 clerk. in the Surgeon
Generals Office, War Department,
has been dismissed under peculiar
circumstances. In order to make a
little extra money he hired postof-
flee box, and issued to distant points
q circular offering to secure govern
ment employment for those desiring
it, for consideration. In answer to
inquiries he fixed the price at $40,
and appearances indicated that he
would have done n thriving business,
but for an investigation by postoffice
officials, who got an linking of what
was going on. The facts were re-
ported to the Secretary of War, who
ordered the clerks summary dismis-
sal. He protested that he had in
tended 10 offense, as his plan was
simply 10 forward in answer to re

BREEDING AMERICAN HORSES

When the breeder seeks TO create
family, his first care must be to
place his stock on land suited to
their pcculiarities. Saddle. horses
are best reared on broken, hilly
ground, for the habit of sure footed.
ness it insures. Harness horses re-
quire for their development n rolling
country, the moderate Irregularities
of which give good knee action, and
render them able in after DAYS to
cheerfully breast hill. On no nc.
count should rich, deep. alluvial
soil be chosen to breed saddle horses
on Having secured a desirable tract
of land, the breeder next must decide
what class of horses he intends to
produce; if saddle horses, the sire
should be Anglo Arabian; color,
dark bay, dappled brown or black; in
conformation the build should be
close knit, the, head handsome, with
the dish-face of the Arab; the ears
small and pointed, the eyes promi
nent and full of intelligence; the
forehead wide, the muzzlc so small
that he could drink from tumbler.
the neck long and graceful, cut in at
the throttle; this will insure his get
against being pullers; the lips. when
at rest, firmly closed; the back short
and straight, the withers rather low
and round, the fore arm and hind
quarters muscular; the ribs deep, the
knees large and fat, the crown bone
short. the fore-leg measuring at least
eight. inches, and q half under the
knee, the height not to exceed fifteen
hands, three inches, the horse well
broken. and ridden in difficult ground.
A steeplechaser would be the most
desirable of all thoroughbreds, ms his
education would be transmitted to
his progeny, in 80 far as that they
would be more readily taught than
other horses. The dams should be
selected for stoutness of constitution,
docility of temper, perfect soundness
and abundant good looks; highly, but
not clean bread. The sire, to pro.
dnce stately harness horses, should
also be thoroughbred; for heavy har-
ness work. sixteen hands wonld not
be too high, when combined with due
size and symmetry of form. The
first cross of sach sire from clean.
bred Clydesdale or Percheron mares,
gives excellent results; the second
cross on these half-bred fillics, the
sire being also thoroughbred, produces
three-quarter-bred beauties of much
substance, and abonnding in good
qualities. To create a type and pre-
serve its best features. is easier and
more remuneratiye than to do as
farmers generally do, viz: breed for
general purposes, because IL is Cheap
